Root: Marauder Hirelings Pack & Hirelings Box – Add Allies, Ignite Chaos, and Organize It All

Need backup? Call in the wildest forces yet with the Root: Marauder Hirelings Pack & Hirelings Box. This fiery expansion introduces six brand-new hirelings to the Root board game, along with a gorgeous, custom-designed storage box to organize all your Root hirelings in one place.

Whether you’re leading the nefarious Marquise de Cat, marching with the Keepers in Iron, or pursuing secret quests as a wandering vagabond, this pack adds fierce new personalities and powerful new tools to every game of Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right.

⚠️ This is an expansion. A copy of the Root board game is required to play.

Need Allies? Here They Are—Fiery and Fierce

The Marauder Hirelings Pack brings an explosive energy to the vast wilderness of Root, offering players more dangerous woodland paths, clever tactical choices, and dramatic momentum shifts.

  • With fewer players, hirelings act as minor factions, adding active forces to the board that impact every decision.

  • With more players, flip the cards to unleash new special abilities, letting you explore bold tactics and engine building opportunities rarely seen in other board games.

Each hireling pair introduces asymmetrical strategies designed to enhance every faction's unique capabilities, from recruiting forces and fueling ongoing construction, to striking key regions when your rivals least expect it.


What’s Inside the Marauder Hirelings Pack?

This expansion adds six new hirelings—fierce, thematic, and full of personality:

Flame Bearers & Rat Smugglers

Agents of anarchy, these fiery rodents spread chaos and commerce in equal measure. Whether you're igniting conflict or trading behind enemy lines, they thrive on disruption.

  • Burn your way through the dense woods or sneak resources through dangerous woodland paths.

  • Perfect allies for the Lord of the Hundreds or any faction in need of turmoil and trade.

Vault Keepers & Badger Bodyguards

Drawn from the Keepers in Iron, this duo is all about ancient birthright and stalwart defense. Use them to fortify your claims and protect crucial regions.

  • Ideal for holding as much territory as possible while protecting your own gain.

  • Build toward a late game powerhouse strategy with these mighty protectors.

Popular Band & Street Band

Boost morale, confuse enemies, and charm the crowd—these roving entertainers are more than meets the eye. Add rhythm to your rebellion or misdirect your foes in style.

  • Use them to manipulate movement and act effectively across the great woodland.

  • Especially useful for support-heavy factions like the Woodland Alliance or to bolster a vagabond’s quest.


Includes the Hirelings Box – Store Every Ally in One Place

Tired of scattered components and loose cards? The Marauder Hirelings Box brings functional beauty to your Root collection. Designed by Leder Games, this storage solution is built to house all hirelings released so far, making setup and teardown faster, neater, and more satisfying.

  • Easily organize hirelings from the Riverfolk, Underworld, and Marauder packs

  • Keeps components safe between plays

  • Perfectly sized to complement your physical board game collection

Whether you're a veteran of many woodland wars or just expanding beyond the base game, this box makes Root cleaner, faster, and more inviting every time you open it.


How Hirelings Deepen the Root Experience

Hirelings add truly asymmetric design even when player counts are low. Each hireling pair introduces new pieces to the board, offering tension, variety, and ongoing threats that evolve with the game.

  • Hirelings are faction-hostile: they’re not on anyone’s side unless they're hired, making their impact neutral—until it's not.

  • Their powers can change dramatically mid-game, especially when flipped into their advanced side, adding surprise tactics and fresh momentum.

You’ll find yourself:

  • Blocking or opening key woodland paths

  • Using hirelings to capture strategic regions, produce in the same building, or even score victory points

  • Exploiting new synergies between hirelings and the faction you play

Pair them with:

  • Root: Marauder Expansion for maximum chaos with the Lord of the Hundreds and Keepers in Iron

  • Root: Riverfolk Expansion and Underworld Expansion for even more factions and maps

  • The Partisans Deck or Clockwork Expansion for even richer replayability


Bring Chaos, Strategy, and Order to Your Woodland Collection

No two Root games are alike—and the Marauder Hirelings Pack & Box ensures that your table is always fresh, dramatic, and deeply strategic. Whether you're facing a squabbling Eyrie, a conspiring lizard cult, or a band of would-be rulers, these hirelings guarantee unforgettable plays.

From the popular band’s deceptive flair to the rat smugglers’ back-alley bargains, every new hireling opens up unique capabilities and fresh paths to score victory points in your quest to rule the woods.

So gather your victory point tokens, choose your new commander, and prepare to test your mettle in the woodland might and right of Root.

The allies you need. The box to store them. The edge to win.
